KSB Recruitment to Attend the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery Parade

KSB Recruitment is delighted to announce our attendance at the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery Parade, one of the most prestigious events in the British ceremonial calendar. This annual spectacle is a highlight of the summer and a proud tradition for the British Army.

What is the Major General’s Review?

The Major General’s Review is an important annual event. It allows Major General James Bowder, the General Officer Commanding The Household Division, to inspect his troops and ensure they are parade-ready. This review is a vital step before the Colonel’s Review and the King’s Birthday Parade, which takes place on June 14th, 2025.

Soldiers and Horses: Ready for Action

Nearly 1,000 soldiers and 200 horses from the Household Division and the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery take part in these impressive displays. The rehearsal happens on Horse Guards Parade in London, in front of an invited audience. Every participant is a trained, battle-ready soldier, prepared to serve both at home and overseas. After the final parade, many will return to operational roles in locations like Africa, the Middle East, Cyprus, or Estonia.

The Brigade Major’s Review: Striving for Perfection

The Brigade Major’s Review is the ultimate quality check before the public celebrations. This year, Lieutenant Colonel Charles Foinette, who designed the event, leads the rehearsal on his horse Percy. He will also lead the full procession on the King’s Birthday Parade, ensuring everything runs smoothly and on time.

Trooping the Colour: A Proud Tradition

This year, Number 7 Company, Coldstream Guards, has the honour of Trooping the Colour. This means they will march their ceremonial flag through the ranks—a proud tradition that showcases unity and respect within the British Army.

Platinum Standards and Jubilee Spirit

At KSB Recruitment, we believe in upholding platinum standards of excellence, just like the soldiers on parade. The spirit of a jubilee—celebrating achievement, tradition, and community—runs through everything we do. Our team is excited to witness and support such an iconic event that brings people together and honours the best of British tradition.
